If you have recently experienced the death of someone close and are looking for help please click here to access the publication When Someone Has Died.  If you require this in a different language or format, then please click here to go to the Health Rights Information Scotland pages, where the text is available in Arabic, Chinese, Gaelic, Polish and Urdu, and where you can also access large print, audio and BSL versions. 

There are also two tabs in the left hand menu on this page which will take you to sources of support.
